“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?” (Luke 15:4 ESV)
Search and Rescue (SAR) teams sometimes use grid searches to find a missing person. A group of volunteers form a long line and methodically combs through a search area. They usually space themselves a few feet apart and walk in unison. Any clues that are found are relayed to the team leader so the search can be adjusted properly.
Could a similar approach be used for those who have lost their way from the spiritual path? What if a line of seekers joined together in persistent prayer--moving faithfully forward, with boldness, hope, and perseverance? Can we leave our ninety-nine other concerns to join the Lord on His Search and Rescue mission?
